Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 46 Death of Zhu Qizhen

[You walked into Fengtian Hall step by step. Behind the red lacquered gold pillars with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, Zhu Qizhen sat on the golden chair and looked at you with calm eyes. 】

[Now Zhu Qizhen has really become a loner, and everyone who supported him has abandoned him, leaving him alone to guard this lonely throne. After many years outside the Great Wall, his young and tender face has been polished by the wind and sand into a vicissitudes of life. In terms of appearance, he is almost similar to his father Xuanzong. 】

[But you know, the person sitting in front of you is definitely not Xuanzong. 】

[Although Xuanzong was unruly, he had the arrogance of the Zhu family in his heart, and would never do such despicable things as "knocking on doors". 】

[Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "Uncle, it's been fourteen years. We haven't seen each other for fourteen years, right?"]

[Fourteen years, indeed fourteen years. 】

[Since Zhengtong returned to power in ten years, he has never seen Zhu Qizhen. Even when you welcomed the Supreme Emperor back later, you didn't bother to meet this Ming Dynasty sinner. You just sent someone to put him under house arrest in Nangong. Counting it all, it has been a full fourteen years. 】

[Zhu Qizhen continued to think about himself and said: "Uncle, you are old. I remember that when you left the capital, you were still full of black hair and looked like a prime man. Now that I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are already gray-haired and tall. You are rickety, as if a gust of wind can push you down."]

[You slowly pulled out the sword from your waist and pointed it at the sinner on the golden chair: "Yes, I am old. After receiving the news of your failure in the Tumu Fort Incident, I lost ten years of my life. Now you should also return the favor. Give it to me."]

[Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Uncle, we have been separated for fourteen years. Now we rarely see each other. Do we have to fight with swords?"]

[You sighed: "If I don't kill you, I will be sorry for the ancestors of the Zhu family, and I will be sorry for my father Chengzu Emperor Wu."]

[Zhu Qizhen shook his head, picked up the long blade on the edge of the chair, and walked towards you slowly. 】

[You smiled lightly: "Your sword skills were taught to you by this king."]

["Not only swordsmanship, but also my six gentleman's arts were all taught by your uncle." Zhu Qizhen stroked the long blade gently, "It's a pity that you are old and you shouldn't have come alone."]

[You don’t want to talk nonsense anymore, drag your old body and swing your sword towards Zhu Qizhen. The sinner who usurped the throne attacked him with a sword, but took a few steps back. 】

[You started to kill Zhu Qizhen like raindrops with your sword until he was defeated step by step. With the last sword, you knocked away the opponent's weapon and pressed the tip of the sword against the opponent's throat. 】

[Even if you are old, Zhu Qizhen’s swordsmanship is no match for you. 】

[Zhu Qizhen thought he would be calm when facing death, but he was wrong. 】

[The tip of the sword was lowered to his throat. Zhu Qizhen swallowed, sweating like rain, and the back of the dragon robe was soaked. 】

[Zhu Qizhen whispered: "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I was too young and should not have abandoned you. Now it is still too late. I am still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You continue to be my regent. You How about I work together to revive the Ming Dynasty?"]

["I never cared about being betrayed or having power taken away from me. Your fault is that you are too despicable and stupid, and you overturned the prosperous age that all the Ming emperors worked so hard to build." You smiled, "Zhu Qizhen, you Look how you look like an emperor now? Do you think you are an emperor just because you put on a dragon robe and sit on a golden chair? No, you are wrong. Even if you have everything of an emperor, you are not considered an emperor. Emperor, you are not worthy."]

[After saying that, you flicked your wrist and drew a blood line on Zhu Qizhen's neck. 】

[Zhu Qizhen’s body fell backward and he died. 】

[Killing him with just one sword will give him an advantage. 】

[You looked up at the golden chair high in the hall and let out a long sigh. ]    【Even if I kill Zhu Qizhen, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in your heart. 】

Lao Zhu was in tears when he saw it.

My child, you are so good at killing!
  The evil beast Zhu Qizhen is finally dead!
  If this evil beast had not died, Lao Zhu felt that he would have a nightmare tonight, and his dreams would be all about Zhu Qizhen.

[After killing Zhu Qizhen, you walked out of Fengtian Palace, and all the ministers were supporting you as the new emperor. 】

[However, you once again pushed away the throne that was within your reach. It's not because you are arrogant, but because you really can't afford the position of emperor. 】

[You feel that your body has reached its limit and you may not have many days left to live. Even if he becomes emperor, he may suddenly die one day, which will undoubtedly push Ming Dynasty into an unstable predicament again. 】

[You have been choosing among Xuanzong’s heirs for a long time, and finally you chose the deposed prince Zhu Jianshen. 】

[This is the deposed prince who you personally demoted to prince, but now, you choose to make him emperor. 】

[This is already the most outstanding child among the descendants of Xuanzong. He is above the standard in both civil and military affairs. The city's strategy in his heart is unfathomable. He has a fierce tiger in his heart but his face is as calm as a lake. If we only talk about his personal ability, Zhu Jianshen Even compared with Xuanzong, it is almost the same. 】

[It’s just that the emperor at that time was Emperor Jingtai after all, so you can only regretfully depose this prince. But now apart from Zhu Jianshen, you can't find anyone else more suitable to be emperor. 】

[Perhaps your grandson Zhu Tongxing can take on this important task, but he does not seem to be interested in the throne. The reason is: Neither my grandfather nor my father have become emperors, so I have no intention of doing so. 】

[In September of the 10th year of Jingtai, Zhu Jianshen officially ascended the throne and was named Chenghua. 】

[The first decree issued by Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen after he succeeded to the throne was to abolish the titles of Emperor Zhu Qizhen and Supreme Emperor, depose him as King Yi, abolish Zhu Qizhen's "Tianshun" reign title, and restore Zhu Qiyu's "Jingtai" reign title . He denounced Zhu Qizhen's crimes of "unfilial piety, disloyalty, unkindness, unrighteousness, and filthy virtues, which made both gods and men angry". He was not allowed to hold funerals for Zhu Qizhen, was not allowed to be included in the ancestral temple, and was given the posthumous title "戾". That is King Yiru. 】

[With this decree, for some reason, you feel that Zhu Jianshen hates his father more than you do. 】

[It is true that Zhu Jianshen is indeed Zhu Qizhen’s son, and he is not a son, but the eldest son. 】

[If Zhu Qizhen can safely be a mediocre emperor, Zhu Jianshen should also safely take over the prosperous times of the Ming Dynasty, and then go to Nanjing to invite you, this old man, back to be the regent. With your assistance, he There is no need to work hard at all. You only need to lie leisurely in the palace to gain the reputation of a wise king. 】

[But because of Zhu Qizhen's "treasonous behavior", Zhu Jianshen lost everything. 】

[The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the position of the crown prince is gone. Although Zhu Jianshen now became the emperor by mistake, what he received was only a dilapidated country full of holes, and all of this was attributed to Zhu Qizhen. 】

[Zhu Jianshen hates Zhu Qizhen, his father, to be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. 】

[After whipping his own father to death, Zhu Jianshen respectfully asked you to be the regent and the general regent of the country. 】

[He knows very well who gave him the throne, and he also knows that there is only one person who can bring Ming Dynasty back on track. 】

[This person is you, the son of Emperor Wu of Chengzu and the King of Zhou, Zhu Youyu. 】
